C'mon Ye Birds in Blue!

January has been such a sunny and mild month overall here on the east coast, in Dublin anyway! Uncanny, I suppose is the word ... but, by now, we're all too aware of the reasons for this.

And while bird numbers and species variety are, to me, more than a little down on last year, there were still plenty of beauties to see and hear and, most of all, to savour recently.

Here's a selection of what I was lucky enough to encounter over the past couple of weeks. I do hope you enjoy viewing as much as I did capturing them out in the field!

In Rainbows

Walking to the Poolbeg Lighthouse on the Great South Wall is one of the simple pleasures of quotidian Dublin life. I am lucky to be able to do this a couple of times a week and never tire of it. The other day was a special treat as a soft shower led to the formation of a rainbow, a simple things that made the walk perfect!
